Admissions Process

The certificate programs utilize a rolling admissions policy, so applications will
be considered throughout the year as they are received. The Admissions Committee screens
applications, invites some applicants for an interview, evaluates the applicants and
selects new students. Following the completion of the admissions process, each applicant
is notified in writing of the Admission Committee's decision, including any conditions
that must be satisfied prior to or following enrollment.

In effort to foster the safety and well-being of the entire campus community, as well
as to ensure that students accepted to PCOM will be permitted to perform clerkships/internships
required to successfully complete their degree requirements, PCOM requires all first
year students to complete a criminal background check prior to matriculation. All
students must have their criminal background checks processed through PreCheck. The Admissions Office will send notification of the process after confirmation of
enrollment and must have this information on file prior to orientation; students will
not be allowed to start classes without this information.
